Ampersand
Written By Tony Verzura

What You’re Making

A smooth, shelf-stable Ampersand™ infused powder designed for easy, accurate dosing.

Final Result

  • 28–30 grams total

  • 100 mg per gram*

  • Dry, uniform powder

  • Ready to use with included dosing spoon

  • *Use 4.35-4.5 grams of (Decarboxylated) Rosin for 100mg / g.

What You’ll Need

  • Decarboxylated oil already infused with Ampersand™ Carrier Oil (room temperature)

  • Ampersand™ Easy-Mix Powder (7.5 oz container)

  • Small glass or stainless steel bowl

  • Metal fork (preferred) or small whisk

  • Small silicone spatula, spoon, or tool

  • Original Ampersand™ Container used for final storage

Step 1: Transfer the Infused Oil

  1. Pour all infused oil into the bowl

  2. Allow oil to fully drip out of the jar

  3. Set the empty jar aside (do not clean)

Step 2: Prep the Powder

  • Gently mix or shake the Ampersand™ powder in its container before use

  • Remove the DRICARD Desiccant from the powder. Place in the lid of the container.

  • Remove the 1/16th .3ml Dosing Spoon from the powder. Pace in the lid of the container.

Step 3: Recover Remaining Oil from the Jar

  1. Add 1 tablespoon of Ampersand™ powder into the empty jar

  2. Mix until remaining oil is absorbed

  3. Texture should be dry to semi-paste

✔️ This prevents oil loss and improves consistency

Step 4: Combine Everything

  • Scrape the powder/oil paste from the jar into the bowl

  • Add all remaining Ampersand™ powder into the bowl with the infused oil

Step 5: Mix & Break Down (Most Important Step)

  1. Use a metal fork

  2. Press powder through the fork openings, smashing it into the oil

  3. Fold and press repeatedly

⏱️ Mix for 5–10 minutes

✔️ Goal: one uniform, dry powder with no wet spots or clumps

Step 6: Final Check

You’re done when the powder is:

  • Even in color

  • Free-flowing

  • Fully dry with no oily patches

Step 7: Store & Dose

  1. Transfer finished powder back into the Ampersand™ container.

  2. Transfer DRICARD desiccant cards back into the Ampersand™ container.

  3. Use the included dosing spoon for accurate measurement

Pro Tips

  • Mix at room temperature only

  • Fork works better than a whisk

  • Pressing powder into oil with works better than stirring

  • Take your time—consistency matters
